Reconstruction After Tumor Resection

Reconstruction after tumor resection involves repairing or rebuilding the area where a tumor has been surgically removed. This process aims to restore function, stability, and appearance. Surgeons may use techniques like grafts, implants, or tissue transfers to replace bone, muscle, or skin lost during surgery. The goal is to ensure the affected area heals properly, minimizes deformity, and maintains as much normal movement and strength as possible. The specific method depends on the tumor's location and extent, and reconstruction is an integral part of comprehensive cancer treatment to improve patient outcomes.
